The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 428

Lu Li didn't go to the area of demons at the Thousand-island Lake after he reached the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. He needed more time in cultivation to stabilize his realm.

He planned to stay at the Ling Empress City for 10 more days. For one thing, he could spend some time with Lu Feixue. For another, he could use the chance to enhance his relations.h.i.+p with Bai Qiuxue and to stabilize his realm as well.

He had asked Madam Yan to buy a jade armor to give to Bai Xiashuang at the auction house. Finally, Bai Xiashuang was willing to forget what had happened.

But he made zero progress on bettering his relations.h.i.+p with Bai Qiuxue because of Bai Xiashuang's constant interruptions. What was more, even when they were dating, Lu Li was afraid to touch Bai Qiuxue since Bai Xiashuang would sense it…

Lu Li had to keep his distance and the couple had to cast amorous glances at each other.

Lu Li had thought about marrying Bai Xiashuang as well. It was normal for an emperor of the Northern Desert to have several imperial concubines. But under the influence of Lu Ling, Lu Li was not the kind of person that would force a girl to marry him when there was no love. For example, he had chosen to ignore the pa.s.sionate glances from Zi Lian…

Bai Qiuxue was the only girl on his mind. He had no room in his heart for anybody else. For Jiang Qiling, he only felt bad for her and regarded her as a sister but nothing else.

It was the same with Bai Xiashuang. He regarded her as his future sister-in-law. Even if he had seen her on the chamber pot once, he didn't have any untoward thoughts about her. His heart and soul were conquered by Bai Qiuxue and Bai Qiuxue alone.

Lu Ling once told him that a person must be loyal to his lover. If he could not make a girl happy, then leave her alone.

Lu Li was ready to go after living at the Ling Empress City for a couple of days. The Pavilion of Delicacy didn't send any further messages so Song Qi should still be in that dangerous place. Even so, Lu Li had to be vigilant. He must take down the Deserted World now.

He didn't bring too many people with him. He planned to take Ye Cha but not Yu Huashen and Ming Yu.

n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors wouldn't do much in conquering the Deserted World. If he could solicit the Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the t.i.tan Race and kill the one at the Stellar Race, then the t.i.tan Race, Ye Cha, and Meng Zhi would be enough to take care of the rest of the races without the help of Ming Yu and the others.

Of course, he brought one more person along with him, Bai Qiuxue.

It was not that he wanted some alone time with Bai Qiuxue, but rather because she could be very helpful for him. The Hag Race needed to be led by her and her Enchantment was powerful enough to confuse n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors. He would be empowered by her.

Lu Li didn't tell others what he was about to do. To Madam Yan, he merely mentioned that he had some errands to run with Bai Qiuxue. But he did ask Lu Feixue, Yu Huashen, and Madam Yan to manage the Northern Desert well and to keep an eye on the sea area at the south.

Lu Feixue and Madam Yan thought Lu Li was going on a trip with Bai Qiuxue so they were happy. Madam Yan could tell there was something romantic between Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue and she was delighted for that.

Lu Li gave all his orders and left with Bai Qiuxue during the night quietly. Arriving at the Heaven Prison City, Lu Li went to visit Du Zheng. Ye Cha had been waiting for Lu Li here for some time. After Lu Li's visit, they boarded Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps and set off for the area of demons.

Lu Li didn't stop at the area of demons. He immediately went to the small world with Ye Cha and Bai Qiuxue.

Bai Qiuxue didn't ask anything on the way. She believed Lu Li had his reasons. However, upon arriving at the small world, she was taken aback.

In front of her was a small mountain. At the foot of the mountain stood three giants who were all more than 30 feet tall with golden skins. They had no hair and only wore a piece of animal skin to cover up below their waist. Their arms were thicker than people's bodies and they had such developed muscles. Their fists were larger than human heads. Bai Qiuxue believed that if any of the giants slapped her, she ground into a puddle…

The three giants stood at the foot of the mountain but they were almost as tall as the mountain. The suffocating feeling was quite strong. Bai Qiuxue felt she could not breathe as if she was faced with three G.o.ds or demons.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

The three giants walked over, emitting uncontrolled killing intent. Bai Qiuxue shuddered. The Sindoor mark between her eyebrows glowed and she was ready to release Enchantment.

"Plop!"

Thirty feet ahead of Lu Li, the three golden giants knelt while the one at the front shouted, "Greetings, Saint Lord!"

"What…"

Bai Qiuxue stared at Lu Li with her eyes wide open in shock. Lu Li replied with a gentle smile and patted her to comfort her. Then he said to Meng Zhi and the other two, "Rise now. Congratulations on reaching the n.o.ble Lord Realm."

Instead of getting up, Meng Zhi bowed again and said, "Thank you, Saint Lord. Without the Mystical Materials you gave us, we might be stuck in that small world for the rest of our lives."

Bai Qiuxue could not believe what she was saying. In public, Ye Cha only called Lu Li Young Master not Saint Lord. But how come there were three golden giants calling him Saint Lord? Did it mean that those powerful alien races were all working for Lu Li?

She found Lu Li was an enigma, more and more so. How come a powerful race had sworn their allegiance to Lu Li?

"I will tell you later. I don't mean to hide this from you."

Lu Li took Bai Qiuxue's hands in his. She felt a spread of warmth within her. She was touched by how much Lu Li cared about her.

"Alright. Get up now and we will go to the entrance of the Deserted World!"

Lu Li waved his hand and took Bai Qiuxue to his Fate Wheel. The entrance to the small world of Green Dwarfs was sealed off now so n.o.body else could enter.

Ye Cha and his four patriarchs released their Fate Wheels while Meng Zhi and the other two from the Mammoth Race started running. Even that, they were faster than Lu Li.

Lu Li could have asked Ye Cha to bring him. But in order to spend more time with Bai Qiuxue, he had chosen to fly on his own and he was not slow, either.

He asked the others to lead the way and he and Bai Qiuxue would follow them. He explained to her, "This is the Mammoth Race. Clan Leader Ye is from the Cyan Phoenix Race. Have you heard about them?"

"Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race?"

Bai Qiuxue was a quiet girl and she was well-read. From the books, she had learned a lot. Just now, she thought that the three giants were from the t.i.tan Race and little did she expect that they were Mammoth Race.

She grabbed Lu Li's hands nervously and asked, "The two races are from ancient times and once they were strong. They seemed… to be destroyed by Families from Central Plains thousands of years ago. Lu Li, you are their master?"

"Yes!"

Lu Li nodded and replied, "In the future, I will bring them back to the Central Plains and let them return to their ancestral land. The two races are loyal to me. As long as I am capable, I will do my best to help them."

"Good heavens…"

Bai Qiuxue could not believe this. She knew something about the Central Plains. Lu Li was trying to fight the Samsara Palace? Was he nuts?

"Don't worry."

Lu Li put on a confident smile and said, "I won't do anything unless I am sure of it. If I cannot reach the Human Sovereign Realm in this lifetime, I will stay here in the Northern Desert with you. But if I am capable, I will try out my luck at the Central Plains. I will let the other disciples of the Lu Family know—exiling me was the biggest mistake they ever made!"

"Okay~"

Staring at Lu Li's determined face, Bai Qiuxue nodded and said, "Wherever you go, I will go with you. A man that I like is destined to be famous around all the lands and will rise above the rest of the world."

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Lu Li was inspired by her words. He laughed and said, "Let my ambition begin. Let us begin at the Deserted World. The Deserted World… I am determined to have you!"
